My Photographs

Photography is something I absolutely love to do. Nature photography is what I'm all about. I'm a hobbyist and amateur. It's very therapeutic and fun not knowing what I could capture a photograph of when I walk in the woods. I use a Canon Powershot SX530 HS. Haven't felt well enough to do any in-depth reading so been using autofocus and the zoom function since I've had it. When I feel well enough that I will be able to remember what I read I will read the tips and tricks section of the forum. Thanks so much for posting that by the way! The one I used before Canon was a Kodak camera.

I will post ten photographs at a time if that's okay. If it's too much to post at once or taking up too much bandwidth let me know or remove the photographs.

If anyone has any tips or critique on how I can improve my photographs please let me know! I'd love to improve!

Awesome photos! Is your cat a Maine Coon? My Bailey was an MC cross and looked very similar.

Thank you! How many times have I said that? haha But seriously thanks. ^_^ I hope to one day maybe make a little money off this and the responses I'm getting on here and offline are so encouraging! I'd do it anyway with or without money because photography is so very therapeutic for me.

I am in Missouri. The majority of these are around my house. Luckily I live out in the country which gives me so much opportunity. I don't drive or I would be going everywhere I could!

You live in a perfect area if you where able to take all that pics without driving. :)
And I also live in the country. I have the forest near but also the beach and a beautiful lake near too. Sweden is so small so almost everything is near. :D

Yes! There's miles of woods around my house! I love it out here in the country. ^_^ I have a couple ponds but not a beach. A beach isn't too far, though! You sound like you live in a nice area for photographs too. :) What kinds of birds are around your area?

I have goals I'd like to get as photographs. A nice big thunderhead is one and my number one is lightning! Need to learn how to adjust my camera settings, though. Oh boy, would I LOVE to get a photograph of lightning! I've got a crow but am working up to getting a nice close-up. Also really want one of a gull! Got my eagle but am always willing to go for more.

If I'm not taking photographs of birds I'm taking photographs of the sky. The sky is just as fun as birds. I stick trees or something in most sky photographs because I feel there needs to be a focal point or the photograph is all over the place. If I'm not doing that then it's to plant and flowers and things that I find unusual or something I can make interesting. Doing the last part is always a fun challenge for me.

@Aubrey HEY fellow Missourian! :) Thanks! I'm in the northeast part of Missouri. Nice to meet someone close! :)


These pics I have taken within the last couple weeks. The first 3 and number 5 I was at my aunt's house looking for something fun so she found a piece of wood that had a hole in it. Tried to get an interesting angle with the sun shinning through it. Then of course getting sunset photographs is a MUST for me. The colors are so pretty! Sadly not an early riser so I only have one set of photographs for a sunrise. haha

The others I took today. I'm always looking out my window for something interesting or pretty in the sky to take a photograph of.
